The first issue in Dallas hit newsstands April 1, carrying a monthly circulation of 20,000. According to 944 CEO Marc Lotenberg, the Dallas edition “will afford the invaluable opportunity to explore new avenues, fresh partnerships and creative visions for our brand."

According to the documents 944 filed with the U.S. bankruptcy court in California, the company is facing expenses beyond the pair of lawsuits. They say 944 carries between $1 million and $10 million in assets but between $10 million and $50 million in liabilities.

It appears 944 Media owes millions of dollars to its printer (Creel Printing & Publishing, $2.45 million) and to event partners, as well as rent, utilities and legal fees. The 20 creditors named in the documents are owed nearly $3.7 million collectively. The documents say 944 has between 200 and 999 creditors in total.
